Go

Here's this week's Bible reflection:

Go

This week’s short Bible reading from Genesis 12:1-4a describes some of the beginning of a journey. God told Abram go to the land God would show him.  God promised blessing.  And Abram went.

I wonder what occurred between the part where God told Abram to go and Abram went?
  • Questions
  • Fear
  • Doubt
  • Arguments
  • Plans
  • Packing
  • Unpacking
  • Packing again
  • Second-guessing
  • Questions
  • Fear
  • Doubt
  • Arguments
And then maybe going?

I think we often have gotten this idea that God told Abram to go and Abram picked up and went.  The Bible doesn’t hold back on all the adventure after Abram left. I wish there was a little more to the adventure that came before the journey started.
